Shipping And Handling
CARRIAGE:
We have a minimum carriage charge of £2.99 (excl. VAT) on all orders, to cover the cost of packaging materials, administration and postage. Postage is charged at cost according to package weight, destination and your choice of service. If time is of the essence we recommend you choose a tracked service such as Royal Mail Special Delivery or ParcelForce.
See the delivery schedule detail below for further information.
Where we feel it is appropriate we may send goods by a premium service and request additional payment to cover applied charges.

Delivery Schedule
We deliver your order right away and UK customers should receive the goods within 3 business days unless 'Special Delivery' or ParcelForce24 service has been selected (offers max compensation of £500 for loss or damage and guarantees delivery to most areas of the UK by 1p.m. on the next working day - for orders rec'd before 1.00 p.m. on Mon/Tue/Wed or Thur).
International orders are generally received in under 30 days with European customers receiving goods within a week usually.
For UK customers, the regular 1st Class post service is NOT INSURED or trackable and goods are sent at YOUR RISK. If your order value is over £35.00 we recommend Special Delivery or ParcelForce for bulky packages.
European customers, ordering by International Standard Mail service, are also NOT INSURED or trackable and goods are despatched at YOUR RISK, so if your order value is over £35.00 sterling we recommend the use of Royal Mail International Tracked.
Where we feel it is appropriate we may send goods by a premium service and request additional payment to cover applied charges.

Back Orders
If your item is not in stock, we will back order for you if there is an early prospect of new stock becoming available. If you wish to cancel a back-order please contact our customer services.

Tax Charges
For orders made from the UK or the European Union 20.0% VAT is added (unless you are VAT registered, in which case you should select the exempt button and input your VAT Number).
All other orders are VAT free and you should click the exempt button to ensure that VAT is not charged.

Credit Card Security
All credit/debit card numbers are encrypted in the software, when the order is placed. They are only decrypted after they reach 'SagePay' or 'PayPal' and the security solutions have been endorsed by leading global banks. Card details are not held in clear text on any web site.
